These images are partial illustrations of
the progressive degrees of glottal-laryngeal-pharyngeal closure
from
through
through
and
finally to
which characterize the antero-posterior, or lingual retraction,
component of the pharyngeal articulator.
Larynx height in all of
these consonantal articulations is raised -- the unmarked position
for lingual retraction/pharyngeal constriction. Pharyngeal constriction
with larynx lowering is not shown here. The effect of these lingual/aryepiglottic
maneuvres on pitch and on phonatory quality has yet to be made explicit.
These images have been published in: (1996).
Pharyngeal consonants and the aryepiglottic sphincter. Journal of
the International Phonetic Association, 26, 65-88.
